    Twitter Modifies Rules to Quarantine Tweets by Politicians Who Break its Rules

    By Oluwasegun Olukotun on October 16, 2019 Regulation, Twitter

    Twitter has modified its rules as it pertains politicians stating it might quarantine the account of any politician that breaks its rules.

    The modification comes in the wake of calls from Democrats to ban US President Donald Trump from the platform.

    The quarantine means users will not be able to reply, like or share tweets by politicians.

    The tweaked rules follow renewed pressure from Democrats to remove US President Donald Trump from the platform.

    Twitter said it was in “the public interest” to not remove politicians’ tweets.

    But world leaders were “not above our policies entirely”.

    Twitter said: “Direct interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day, or foreign policy sabre-rattling on economic or military issues are generally not in violation of the Twitter rules.”

    But it would take action if an account:

    • threatened an individual
    • promoted terrorism or self-harm
    • posted private information, such as a phone number

    Many Democrats have said President Trump’s tweets do threaten individuals, pointing to a series of recent ones aimed at the anonymous “whistleblower” whose allegations kick-started impeachment moves against the president.

    Examples of such rule-breaking tweet include inflammatory tweets targeted at North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, one showing the president at a pro-wrestling event throwing to the floor a man with a CNN logo for a head.
